Colin T. Fisher - Corporate Coach & Hypnotherapist

“I am really impressed with Nick Davies and his BLAST Technique. In our hypnotic world that is swamped with so many rehashes of existing protocols and techniques, BLAST is something that really stands out. It certainly helped that I had already studied some elements of the course but not essential. Nick’s easy tutoring style is so inclusive, I felt it enhanced what I already knew, as well as delivering clearly, all the new stuff. While practising the technique, myself and one of my colleagues both experienced noticeable change. I feel as if I have a powerful new tool in my toolbox that will enhance my repertoire considerably. I definitely recommend the BLAST Technique to all therapists and practitioners.”

Spencer Baldwin - Hpnotherapist

“Absolutely brilliant course, Nick has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he draws upon to deliver this amazing technique. This is a MUST for all therapists, an invaluable tool to add to existing skill sets. The fast, effective technique for trauma, PTSD, anxiety etc. Truly remarkable course. Thank you Nick!”

Nicki Jenkins - RGN, D.Hyp CS, CPNLP, EFT Practitioner

Suzanne Bond - Hypnotherapist

“Nick is a superb trainer and presents the course in a way that is informative, relaxed and safe, which all adds to the ease of learning. I would recommend this course to anybody who works with trauma clients , it is a ‘must’ have skill/resource. Thank you Nick for developing and teaching it.”

Angela King - Psychotherapist and EMDR Practitioner

Dr Mark Chambers - GP

“Having just spent a fantastic weekend training with Nick in his awesome BLAST Technique, I can honestly say it’s the best training course I have attended, both in value for money + content. Nick is a master of his craft + his easy manner and laid back style of delivery made the course both enlightening + entertaining. PTSD + trauma clients no longer hold any fear for me.”

Paul Hill - Hypnotherapist

“The BLAST technique is such a powerful tool to add to any therapeutic skill set. The utilisation of practical components was extremely beneficial in grasping the technique and validating BLAST as an important tool in any PTSD work. I will definitely use BLAST in my practice.”

Chantal Bernard - Counsellor

“It’s always difficult when time and resources are limited, to decide the areas to spend your money on. I can heartily recommend this course! Nick’s easy manner & knowledge of the subject makes the learning process smooth and effective. He is quick to share additional snippets of information to help us become better therapists and takes extra time to explain things when needed. A great course, well run and representing excellent value for money!”

Karen Hayward - Hypnotherapist

“Excellent. Plenty of chance to practise. Enjoyed the group session with Nick as the difficult client. Thoroughly enjoyed this, a lovely group I can’t wait to start using this. An excellent practical course. Another therapeutic tool for my toolkit. Thankyou Nick.”

Dr Jo Waddell - GP

“I am finding it a GoTo technique with most clients now. This week I saw a client referred from a psychotherapist who had been struggling with compulsive alcohol consumption for many years. In one BLAST session he had connected it to a negative belief set brought about through a disparaging comment from his father many years ago. It was a real lightbulb moment for him and he remarked…’ I sort of knew it, but his has helped me to really see it’..a big step forward for him.

Last week I had a 21 year old lad paralysed with anxiety about doing anything out of his comfort zone. One session of BLAST accessed a childhood memory of his being embarrassed in front of his father, friends etc and a huge fear of failure. Again, a real lightbulb moment. This chap described the experience like this: ‘It was as though the front of my head went quiet and I was watching everything unfold on a screen in the back of my head’…Absolutely brilliant, I really can’t speak highly enough of BLAST.”

Chris Sutcliffe - Hypnotherapist

“Firstly, Nick is a great trainer coming from a space of genuine integrity. And secondly, the process of BLAST was explained with science based proof as well as the practitcal application – IT WORKS!”

Trudy Randall - OldPain2Go

“I felt the course was challenging, stimulating and interesting – all and more than I would hope for in a course. I felt that Nick displayed personal/professional values in line with my own so I felt able to ‘receive’ was taught/discussed without any resistance. Although the course was a little more expensive than some, it represents great value for money and I expect to make great use of what I have learnt.”

Jen Scott - Hypnotherapist

“The BLAST Technique is one of the most effective methods that treat the root cause. It can be used for many things but specialises in PTSD + trauma it is a must have in any change workers toolbox”.

Shane Harron - Change Worker

“Had a great weekend learning this technique. The demonstrations were particularly good and the practice so valuable. I would recommend learning ‘BLAST’ and training with Nick.”

Claudia Rickard - Psychotherapist

“Nick is very knowledgeable and a great trainer. The BLAST Technique is going to be an amazing addution to my practice. It is super effective + gets much faster results than traditional EMDR. We did lots of practical exercises so feel confident using this straight away.”

Denise Searle - Hypnotherapist

I thoroughly enjoyed the course – a weekend well spent. What a great investment!”

Nike Lawal - Cognitive Hypnotherapist

“OH WOW!!!

My first 2 clients of the day Blasted 🙂 What a result!

Nick I can’t even begin to say how much more nurturing and kind this felt today. Both clients had really big issues.

The first one (man I told you about) worked on an issue that has bothered him for months and stopped him sleeping ..it was a big fat 10 and came down to 0..he positively waltzed out of the room.

The second client worked through 2 big issues …1 from childhood …10 down to 0 and the second issue the traumatic death of his brother 5 years ago ..10 down to 2 and changed from my fault to life goes on.

I am so glad I did the workshop yesterday …I know I wouldn’t have got these issues moving in this way with EMDR.

The sessions just flowed and far less traumatic for my clients

Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!”

Angela King - EMDR Practitioner

“Best learning to date in my career!”

Darren Housley - Hypnotherapist

“Very knowledgeable without being swamped by ‘jargon’, made everything easily understandable. Perfect balance, cannot think of one area that would need to be done differently, brilliant course!”

Anita Tulley - Hypnotherapist
